Hilllbilly Heaven Bar & Grill

Great atmosphere, excellent prices. Play a round of pool for .75! The whole place is clean, even the bathrooms. They have a ton of good food as well.

My bf and I went to Berkeley Springs for a weekend away from DC. We were looking for a bar to grab a few drinks after dinner. Our B&B and another WV native suggested we go to Hillbilly Heaven. We were told the bar had live music. The music was deafening. It was so loud that he and I couldn’t hear eachother while sitting next to eachother at the bar. It’s a big shack, with tons of people smoking inside and deafening music. We got one beer and left.

I can not praise the food here enough, it is a pleasant surprise to go in to a bar/​restaurant like this and leave with the food experience I had.
As soon as I entered I was second guessing my choice, the lights were dimmed low and there were only two people sitting at the bar. But when we sat down and talked to the bar tender we were pleasantly surprised. The food is cooked on an open fire grill which gave the burger I had a unique and grilled flavor. One of the best burgers I have had which is saying a lot.
My girlfriend got a chicken cheese steak and said it was the best chicken cheese steak she ever had. The meat was chunky but creamy, the bun was nice and soft, and the flavor was phenomenal.
This place is an obvious local favorite because while we were eating more and more people started to come in. We were the only tourists in the place and we felt right at home.
There are pool tables, slot machines, and a jukebox. I travel a lot and this is in my top 5 of best american style food restaurants. If not all the way at the top.

Surprising nice place with really good food. Mechanical bull outside and a bar. Happened upon here on the 4^th of July after a long day of traveling so comfort food is what we were looking for and got.

The inside of Hillbilly Heaven does not look like what you would expect. It’s clean on the inside with pretty large well stocked bar on the left when you walk in. There is ample seating at the bar, and even more at the sit down tables.
The first thing you will notice is the smell of smoke. Smoking is still allowed in there. I’m not sure if it is banned statewide in WV or not, but I have grown accustomed to bars not being smokey, so I noticed that immediately.
Then there was the taxidermy. There is a pretty impressive collection of a bobcat, coyote, mountain lion, bat and even a raccoon giving you the finger. Yeah THAT finger.
There are two pool tables in the back near the bathrooms that were free. FREE. Also, the jukebox is still the «old» CD kind of jukebox. Also free.
Four of us went there for dinner. I started off with some butter garlic wings which were awesome, and of course, I had to try the Hillbilly Deluxe burger (two patties, cheese, LTO, BBQ sauce, fries and probably some other stuff on it. All in all, this burger is not for the faint of heart. It stands about 7 inches tall (see pic) and is truly a mouthful, and should you finish it like I did, a stomach full as well.
At one point, one of the other patrons asked me if I ate the whole thing, and looked at me incredulously when I said yes as I was eating the rest of the wings. He then turned to his ladyfriend, and told her that I ate it all. She just replied, «WHOA!» and then asked where I put it all, «in your big toe?» Now, my big toes aren’t all that big, so they certainly didn’t go there. He also then asked the bartender if she should take my picture for the wall. There were no other pictures of patrons on the wall, and alas, my picture was not taken.
It’s a fun place, a great place to hang out and talk to some of the nice locals, and it IS West Virginia, so there are some people that I chose not to talk to, but they all seemed pleasant and the bartender knew most of their names already. I’ll definitely go back, and maybe even ask for more tips on the local fishing holes. Camo abounds there.
